Ranger was founded in 1929 and originally manufactured an exclusive line of commercial ink products for the U.S. banking industry. In 1979, Ranger developed the first art stamp pads in unique, vibrant colors. Until 1998, Ranger¹s primary business was private label products for stamp manufacturers. Ranger then began marketing product lines of its own beginning with inks and eventually developing embossing powders. With a continuous focus on innovation, successful lines such as the Adirondack® and Distress™ family of products, Perfect Pearls™ pigment powders and Melt Art® products have become popular worldwide.

“This brown is not too dark or overwhelming. Works greaat when using sepia colored or old photos. It adds just enough color to the edges of paper to make it old looking without distracting from the photo. I use it when I want just a hint of antiquing.”

“I have the distress ink pads in 20+ colors and want MORE! I make vintage-themed cards using stamped tone-on-tone backgrounds that I've created with this ink. Plain white card stock can become any color and design you choose using distress inks applied with a sponge.”

“This was my first "distressing" ink and I love it! This one and the walnut brown are must haves. Honestly, I'm not as wild about Tim Holz's colors -- like red & green -- but the browns, blacks, etc are the best!”

“I have never used these inks, but I am thinking that this one as well as the walnut and vintage photo would be good colors with my different coffee stamps. Would love to get these inks and try it out!!!”
